                                  A RESOLUTION
 1   Designating May 5, 2026, as "The Blessing of the Balers Day" in
 2      Pennsylvania.
 3         WHEREAS, The Blessing of the Balers started in Greene County
 4   when a local farmer, Joseph Krampy, was having trouble with his
 5   baler one day; and
 6         WHEREAS, Just when Mr. Krampy was about to give up, a
 7   Catholic priest who was passing by stopped to inquire about the
 8   baling process; and
 9         WHEREAS, Mr. Krampy spoke to the priest for a while and
10   mentioned the issues he was having on that day; and
11         WHEREAS, As the conversation wrapped up, the priest suggested
12   the two men pray over the baler that had been giving Mr. Krampy
13   problems; and
14         WHEREAS, After the prayer, Mr. Krampy decided to go back to
15   the baler and give it one more shot before he called it a day;
16   and
17         WHEREAS, Much to Mr. Krampy's surprise, the baler started up
 1   and went back to dropping bales again like nothing ever
 2   happened; and
 3      WHEREAS, After that, Mr. Krampy was able to finish the field
 4   without missing a beat; and
 5      WHEREAS, In 2026, The Blessing of the Balers will be held in
 6   Harrisburg; therefore be it
 7      RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives designate May 5,
 8   2026, as "The Blessing of the Balers Day" in Pennsylvania; and
 9   be it further
10      RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives wish good fortune
11   to all farmers across this Commonwealth for their upcoming
12   growing season and harvest.
